Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman in “Tanks for Nothing!”
Or, as it might be more accurately called, yet another clip from the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse movie, coming out on DVD on September 28th. A few thoughts:
? What the hell is Superman doing? Punching fire while Batman and Wonder Woman take care of both tanks on their own?
? If I’m an elite soldier of Apokalips, in a massive tank, and I see Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman in front of me, I’d just turn around and run. After maybe taking a moment to crap my pants first.
? I wish every nation put big demon-dragon heads on their tanks. It’d be cool.
? Seriously, Supes. Stuck fucking around with the fire and help out a little. Dick.
